We examine this theory from a cross-national perspective, making use of surveys that sampled minorities in the United States and New Zealand. Both countries incorporate structures into their electoral...

Subordinate-level Object Recognition 1 Running Head: Face and Object Recognition Does Visual Subordinate-level Categorization Engage the Functionally-deened Fusiform Face Area? Subordinate-level Object Recognition 2

Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to compare brain activation associated with basic-level (e.g., BIRD) and subordinate-level (e.g., EAGLE) processing for both visual and semantic judgments. We localized the putative face area for eleven subjects, who also performed visual matching judgments for pictures and aurally-presented words. The middle fusiform and occipital gyri were recrui...
